    Whatever you do, dont, DONT put tretinoin around your eye area

      Not true . My dermatologist told me I can do this and its been working for me . Everyone skins is different. Stop telling ppl what to do with their skin . Worry about what your own skin can handle 🙄😒
      And she is a PA for a dermatologist, she knows way more about tretinoin and how to use it than you do , im sure of it .

      @@melaninmonroeeee "Stop telling people what to do with their skin" You're literally contradicting yourself by actually telling people to put tretinoin around their sensitive skin areas. All I was doing was warning them NOT TO. Tretinoin works under the skin. You'll see benefits to your eye area even if you don't apply it directly there. Don't give af about your "dermatologist" credentials when hundreds of studies, other dermatologists, and various medical professionals have warned against using it directly on your eye area. Especially when starting out. Even if you do get used to tretinoin, it's still not advisable to use it around the sensitive skin areas, like eye area, lip area, etc. There's no benefit doing so.

Like I said , there are plenty of us who do apply tretinoin to our orbital area and have great results from it. So worry about whether you should do it or not and let ppl figure out whats best for their face . Goodbyee

      If you're beginner, you can use the sandwich method where you apply a tiny layer of moisturizer before applying Tretinoin and after 30 mins, apply a thick moisturizer. It will reduce purging.

      Yes you can I started off on that at 3 times a week then had no irritation as I did make sure to put a moisturiser on after but if you feel your skin to dry or flaky you can most definitely put a moisturiser on before your retinol/ tretnoin and even after as I do so that way your skin can get the benefit and no irritation and you can work your way up to daily if your skin is responding well and you will no if your skin needs more or less cream as you might not need it at all and cerave moisturiser is a great one or any other which no harsh chemicals will work and definitely 💯 use a sunscreen 😊
